Hey gus, im 19 and pre T/pre everything. I have wanted to transition for a very long time and recently come to the conclusion its time to stop lying to myself and just be myself which is a guy. I'm starting therapy with a
lgbt therapist next week and am hoping i can start hormones soon after i see them, my friend got approved for hormones right after seeing their therapist so hopefully.
I'm also scared to transition, i came out to my mom and she doesn't think i'm trans, i know she told my dad but he hasn't asked me about it, and my four siblings have no idea i'm gonna transition.
So I start college in late september and will live on campus, I'm upset because I want to be passable as a male by the time I start school because i want to sort of establish a new life up there, and don't want people to start off knowing me as a girl (i currently look like a tomboy/lesbian). I'm also stressed out about being able to afford hormone therapy (thank god the counseling center is giving me free therapy since im under 21)
Does anyone have any advice or have been in or are in a similar situation? Thanks for reading guys, this is a really scary yet exciting process.
